My father used to be a salesman in Colorado’s San Luis Valley. That’s when I was a kid. He used to deliver food and other items to some of the farms and ranches that are now abandoned. He still remembers some of the family names. That was only 40 years ago.

We call this roadway “Hawk Alley.” The road cuts acres and acres of open fields stuffed with alfalfa, hay and corn. With the electricity poles along the road, the hawks - and the occasional golden eagle - have the perfect roost to watch what moves in the fields: rabbits, voles, mice. When the wind blows however, visibility drops to mere feet and the hawks hide out in the cottonwoods and elms.

An abandoned adobe farmhouse melts into the earth in the southern reaches of Colorado’s San Luis Valley. We explored the ghost towns we already know so well - and yet always find new artifacts, new views. Each day is unique.
